Bike commute day. My knee was twanging so I didn't push too hard. I did feel strong otherwise, but not with really good balance, probably because my bag was packed so weird.

I love going to the gym so much. Such good things happen there. Today I saw a guy totally attack some chin ups and it was so inspiring. I saw some people make a commitment to get healthy, I saw a woman improve massively on this pose she was practicing, I saw my friend m and we only talked a little but it was so rich - she's so cool, people all over the place were getting their muscle and cardio on, it makes me so happy.

My knee/glute thing was still going on today, stairs hurt, the elliptical hurt if i made the resistance higher than 4 so I kept it at 2. I didn't think i would run, but i decided to try it anyways. I had to wait for a treadmill for a while, and when I got one in front of the yucky air blow out thing i figured i wouldn't long. Then a different one opened up and i hit it. I love my legs. They run. They're awesome.

I did a lot for this time of the month. Usual cardio, added 10 pounds to 2 out of three of my camber curl sets, also hit triceps and pecs. Wasn't feeling any backbend stretches but that's to be expected. Or is it?

No workout, 12 hour workday. I think I'm getting sick, I hope I don't have to bag on tomorrow's workout. I got it scheduled before I have to go to the place that likes to call itself a dental clinic. All considered, today was a very good day.

Very tight on time and fighting a cold today so I only did 30 elliptical, 25 run, 5 walk, 3x15 bicep 3x15 tricep and abs. Running felt ok. Weights felt like crap. I'm glad I could do what I did.

Food:2 tsp misocoffee, soy1 cup jicamasome celerysome of a green pepperzucchini, tomato and a veg sausagecoffee, soyWORKOUT (early)1/2 vega barI blended some summer squash, a mushroom, a thawed veg burger, and a pepper with mad ginger, garlic, lemon and chile, and heated it up to make soup. So good. I stay away from onions and garlic, it'll be interesting to see how I do with it.Some popcorn, I'm too lazy and sick to measure it. Seems like kind of alot...

Thanks Jaleel. I didn't, because I was passed out for most of the day. How does green tea help with a cold?

Tasha, I did rest, good advice! I planned on hitting the gym for at least a little work. My body had other ideas. I could have gone at night but then I thought about how missing a workout wasn't going to be as bad as having to miss a lot of workouts if I don't get better and have to stay home more... About miso: I eat some every morning. I soften 1 teaspoon (I use the abbreviation of tsp for teaspoon and tbs for tablespoon - that's probably wrong, heh) of miso in cold water with however much powdered or fresh ginger I think I need. Then I add another cup of just boiling water to it. It makes a kind of broth that's great to wake up with, and before I'm even out of the house, I've consumed 4 cups of water! See you today maybe.

Yesterday's food:a couple sticks of celerysoup: 1 can garbanzo beans, some spinach and collards, with lots of ginger, garlic, chile, lemon, and mint - blended up and heated6 rice thins

I surprised myself doing cardio today, running was fine. I could have done 30 minutes but I figured since I'm not feeling well, no reason to push it. Even lifting at my new weights was fine but I only did 2 deltoid things, 3x15. Then abs. Not bad for a sickie.

I did it today, on top of being sick, after working all day, without an ipod. I was kind of uninspired so i switched up biceps and triceps from 15 reps to 20 at the old weight. I just didn't have it in me to push any more.

I added a 2 minute interval on to the 25 minute run even though my lungs were all rattly. 30 minutes here I come. I just had to. I'm back to 30 lbs on my 2 hardest shoulder moves. Still not all the way unsick, and work administrative stuff is getting ridiculous, and I'm not sleeping... I hope I don;t get any sicker.

Yesterday was a bike commute day. I love riding my bike. It's like flying. last night it was freezing 'cuz i wasn't dressed for it. But the moon was waxing almost full and I was moving, slinging myself around corners, floating up hills... it really took the edge off a hard day.

Yesterday: long ass workday at 2 jobs so no workout at all, and pretty usual food, except I grubbed on a lot of rice cakes when I got home. It may have been emotional eating but i've been craving carbs so bad all week. I think it might also have to do with needing extra energy to fight this cold.

Today: 30 minutes running. I'm pretty proud of myself. My self-confidence is better, I feel strong, I love that my body can do what I ask it to do, it's all so good. Today I was feeling so yucky till I got to the gym. Two days away is too long.

Ok not too shabby for a basic workout but looking at it I see I should prob spend more time with weights. I do now if I have time... god, these past few weeks have been murder... at this point I think it's more important to just get basic work done in a way that's going to be easy to sustain as a lifetime kind of habit.

It's almost time for me to start running outside. I'm scared to. But maybe this break isn't the right time to start... a bunch of guests will be staying here, and all the holiday activity... idk... i have to think about this.
